Recycled Water System Update

Pasadena’s new recycled water system is back on track with construction slated for early 2015.

When completed, the system will pipe in carefully treated recycled water from the Los Angeles/Glendale Water Reclamation Plant to irrigate public parks, golf courses, freeways, schools and street medians. The system could eventually save nearly a billion gallons of drinking water every year and is a key part of the City’s long-range water supply plan!

Phase 1 will irrigate Brookside Park, Brookside Golf Course, the Rose Bowl and Art Center College of Design and should be ready in 2014. Phase 1 will also capture mountain storm water runoff that now flows out to sea.
